About LatePass.Com Online Tutoring
Meet Donovan Smith — Chief Foundation Officer
In a crowded online tutoring space, Donovan Smith brings structure, strategy, and heart. As the Chief Foundation Officer at LatePass.com, Donovan built LatePass.Com to be more than tutoring. It is a gap-closing support system built around families, scholars, and measurable progress.
Under his leadership, LatePass.com has achieved something rare: consistent academic support across multiple states, grade levels, and learning needs. Whether a student is falling behind or striving to accelerate, Donovan ensures that each tutor is equipped with the tools, mindset, and method to deliver undeniable results.
What sets Donovan apart is his ability to connect math knowledge, classroom experience, and instructional strategy. and the science of instruction. With a B.A. in Mathematics (Statistical Analysis) and an M.S. in Curriculum Design & Instructional Technology from the University at Albany, Donovan is more than an administrator— he is a math education strategist who understands tutors, scholars, and parent concerns.
In 2022, Donovan transitioned from active tutoring into full-scale leadership by taking on the role of Chief Foundation Officer. In this capacity, he now oversees day-to-day operations, ensures instructional excellence, develops tutor onboarding systems, and steers the long-term academic strategy of LatePass.com. Every decision, tutor match, and learning plan is built around progress families can understand.
Before launching LatePass.com into its current success, Donovan spent over a decade in the classroom, teaching in both New York and Georgia. His hands-on experience with students—across grade levels and learning environments—gave him a real experience with the math struggles families face, and the breakthroughs that are possible with the right support.
In 2013, Donovan and his family relocated from New York City to the Greater Atlanta Area, a move he describes as “re-tiring”—replacing the worn wheels of the past with a new tread and direction for the future. That same spirit of transformation defines his work today.
Teaching Experience Includes:
- Fulton County Schools (Roswell, GA)
- Ombudsman Cobb County Schools (Marietta, GA)
- NYC Department of Education (Middle & High)
- East Ramapo Central School District (Suffern, NY)
From the classroom to the C-suite, Donovan Smith brings an uncommon blend of heart, hustle, and high standards. His mission is simple but powerful: to ensure that every scholar doesn’t just catch up—but leaps ahead.

Where Math Gaps Become Growth Plans.
LatePass.Com supports classroom instruction with personalized online tutoring that helps scholars understand the lesson, close the gap, and build confidence.
Math struggles can look small at first, but gaps grow quickly when they are ignored. At LatePass.Com, we do not guess our way through tutoring. We look at what the teacher is teaching, align our support to the classroom instruction, and help the scholar make sense of the material in real time. That is where the strategy starts.
We support the current lesson while identifying the missing skills underneath it. When tutoring connects to what is happening in the classroom, scholars become more engaged, less confused, and more confident in the work they are expected to complete.
LatePass.Com was built on real instructional experience, not a quick tutoring trend. With tutoring roots dating back to 1999, and online tutoring support expanding in 2013, we have helped families move from math stress to structure, confidence, and measurable progress.
We are Instructional Math Architects. That means we do more than help with homework. We design custom support plans, align tutoring with classroom expectations, close learning gaps, and help scholars understand the math behind the assignment.
